- Wondering how to treat and manage a broken toe? The good news is, a lot of this can be done from the comfort of your home!
As always, remember to seek care from a medical qualified professional if you are concerned about an injury. With regards to toe injuries, it is prudent to seek medical attention especially if you have: injuries of the great toe, open injuries (where the skin has been torn/lacerated as a result of the trauma), displaced/shifted injuries with visible deformities of the toe, or injuries causing pain at the base of the toe/in the foot/metatarsals.

Yep 😂😂

Broooo I fucking stubbed it 😂😂
Who else just broke their toe? 😂
Should I just leave it or go to a hospital?
Thank you. Busted my big toe last night and my roommate who has some medical training says there's a joke amongst nurses. "Know what you do about a broken toe? Nothing".
It's like a broken rib except much more pleasant.
Dude thank you!!! I've been searching on RUclips for a while and finally a straight up answer!!!
Your descriptions and explanations are so clear and concise. Thank you!

So grateful to hear that it does heal on it’s own. Stubbed my toe yesterday and we’re scared to go to the hospital because of the covid situation in my country.
Wishing you a speedy recovery! As always, if you are concerned, please make sure to go for an in-person assessment!
@@DxTxlast year I kicked the bins on both feet had my trainers on let things get to me too mulch
Had a bad day they were black metal bins can it still heal it self
Thank you Doc
Thank you your video and of information on it.
Great advice! Came here for a little reassurance of proper management. I’m quite sure I broke my pinky toe but I’m on top of the discomfort like white on rice. Thanks for showcasing this video and giving such a detailed explanation revolving conservative treatment. Blessings

Thanks for the support and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
@Pelu Pelkar Hello! Sorry to hear about your broken toe. In general, ~4-6 weeks for broken bones to heal.
Thanks Doc 👍💪
Thank you so much
Thank you 🙏
My husband really banged his toe up this morning after running into our bathroom sink in the dark. He worked all day on his foot/toe in a hot factory - I have no idea how he did it. I didn't know about this until a little bit ago when he came home from work and was limping. Thank you for the advice and tips!
Wishing him a speedy recovery!
Thanks Doctor
Give Thanks
Thank you
Thank u bro appreciate 🙏 💯
Thanks for the support!
@@DxTx most definitely 👍
THANK YOU VERY MUCH......
Thanks for the information i thought i need a surgery or something but its just needed the buddy tape
My pleasure! As always, I recommend an in person assessment if you are concerned as this channel is for educational purposes only! Wishing you a speedy recovery
Thx for your valuable information...🇮🇳♥
Thank you so much for this,I was debating rather or not to take my son to the doctor
Thank u so much 😁
Thanks for the info, this sure gave me a good Idea as to what has happened to my toes. I now know what i should be concerned about and what i shouldnt be concerned about.
Thanks so much for the support! So glad to hear that you found the info valuable! All the best.
Thanks so much for this video. Just banged my pinky toe and Im sure it’s broken. I have icing, pain meds and lots of rest.
OMG THANK YOU
Best video I’ve seen on this. Saved me a trip to the doctors office. All my stubbed toes have healed on their own and I get them often sports related . Despite the swelling and bruising I’m still training with it just carefully . Doing things that don’t aggravate it followed by ice and Advil’s
Thanks for the support and glad you enjoyed the video! If you are ever concerned / worried, I always recommend getting an in person assessment as there are always nuances (i.e. big toe injuries etc).
Thank you for confirming what I thought. (If I go to the ER they will just send me home. Its been two weeks and Im feeling a lot better)
You are so welcome
Ty
Thank you. I feel much relieved nw, coz I banged my toe and was upset for the pain and swelling .
Exactly what I was looking for😇
Ty for your video. I broke one toe in costa rica 😢and it’s def broken. I splinted it and kept moving on with life til it heals
Thanks Doctor . This is the best video I have seen on the toe injury . . I have two fractures in my big toe as I slipped in rain . Can I still continue walking or should I avoid putting any weight on the leg ? Asking as was planning to get a moon boot .
Thank youu
Ah thanks!
I do mma. We were light sparring tonight and while throwing a teep the guy lifted his knee so my toe mashed into his knee. Went to patients first and got an xray it's broke. So glad this is a minor injury that resolves itself, I'm supposed to be doing my physical at Meps for the navy soon.. really can't afford to get hurt right now.
Hey I did the same thing, how long did it take your toe to heal? 100% ok now?
Dropped a piece of cabinet wood edge first directly onto the joint of my big toe, that was first point of contact for the piece of wood so i got full force on the joint from around 5 ft height. It's sore, got tingling/throbbing sensation shooting down my foot and up my leg to my hamstring. Cannot curl my toe fully so finding it difficult to walk on although I can walk, just have a little bop. Fun times.
Don't know if I need to get this checked out or not. Don't want to waste doctors/nurses time at AnE.
@@Nocturnal_Neil Hi there, thanks for your support. I refrain from providing individualized medical advice on this channel as it is for educational purposes only and I cannot comment on cases when I have not personally seen/assessed you! Big toe injuries can be a bit more complex, especially if near the joint. I would recommend going in for an in-person assessment! Best of luck.
Thx
Thanks for watching!
Mines broke on the left foot the pinky, got to orthopedic tomorrow to put back in place glad I came across this viedo. Mine the opposite from the otherr and can't get it tapped.good one more day of waiting to get in seeing a doctor
I’m glad I’m watching this because I fractured my toe last night
Wishing you a speedy recovery! Remember that these videos are for educational purposes only and to seek an in person assessment if you are concerned!
I hurt my toe nearly 9 months ago and it still hurts like hell
Good man
My toe hurts just as much today as it did when I hit it with my mom's wheelchair two years ago. I never knew to try the buddy taping. I'll try it. I'm really tired of this pain. I didn't find any helpful advice when I looked at the time. Thanks
Broke my big toe bad yesterday its gone black around area below the nail. Guess nothing I can do it's straight can't move it but this has informed me
Hope the doctors find better options in the future.
I ended up with a semi limp toe joint on the big toe which effects my walking
Thanks for the comment Freddy and so sorry to hear about your big toe injury. Big toes are the more complicated toe fractures that often require closer management. Even still, unfortunately even when those injuries occur, the risk of surgical repair etc will outweigh the benefit...nonetheless, I always recommend being assessed in person to ensure that there are no other concerns/need for follow-up - especially when it comes to foot/big toe injuries!
@@DxTx Thanks for the answer. I didn't do any sort of rehab with it, which would have either helped or uncovered the issue earlier.
Thanks I'm a taekwondo player ans I broke my toe during training and it's frustrating cause I can't train wepl cause it hurts, I'll go take some rest thanks again doc
Sensible video. Yesterday I managed to injure my middle toe while wearing sandals. When I looked at it, it was sticking up and the end was bent across at an angle. My mother freaked out when she saw it. But I had to drive us home (somehow, with some bad words!) and after driving it looks straighter. Today I have bruising; if I put weight on it, I feel a 'popping' and it hurts. I'm not going to the doctor because I don't want to drive again. If it's still bad in a week, I'll ask a friend to drive me.
Thanks for the support Wendy! I avoid providing individualized medical advice but I always recommend seeking an assessment sooner rather than later if you are concerned about your own health. Especially with fractures that are displaced, it may be more difficult to “set” the longer you wait! Speedy recovery
U r a gem
I actually broke my toe (my mother checked, she’s a nurse btw) and this did help! Thank you
I think I broke booth my toes 🥲, thanks for the video doc !
You know....I had three different doctors tell me to absolutely never "buddy tape" a toe. Never under and circumstances. I really feel that you are correct. I don't know if it's just a gut feeling or what. The other doctors didn't seem particularly bad or less experienced. I just broke my middle toe but I'm not going to do anything about it as of now. I hopefully will just limp it out lol. I may end up having to tape it or something tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to a ten hour shift constantly on my feet and moving at a fast pace. It us what it is though. Thanks for the solid medical info doctor!
I just broke my middle toe too :(
How is your third toe now, Mr. Big? Any swelling left under the skin after breaking it? How did it get broken?
Thank you very much! This video was very informative!
It's actually making me doubt my doctor's treatment. I fractured the base of my proximal phalanx of my 5th toe 4 days ago and he just prescribed a form fit ankle strap and painkillers. However I'm still in a lot of pain (I can't even wear a sock due to the pain) and now my entire leg is now swollen with pins and needles.
Kindly advise
Thank you Doc
Person: I think I broke my toe.
Doctor: Sucks for you, go home.
My wife broke her toe last night and dislocated it as well. We went to the emergency rom at a hospital, they did x rays and its fractured at the base where it joins the foot. Buddy taped it and off we went. We live in Australia, they prefer to x ray in case it requires surgery especially if its the big toe.
Did her toe heal? I have a big toe fracture and it’s just not getting better, getting worse. Never any bruising and it’s been months.
Definitely dealing with this now, as I stubbed my toe really hard yesterday, and now it’s really sore and purple. How long would you recommend I wait before I continue physical activity like running? It’s so annoying since I’ve been on such a running grind lately 😩
Thanks for your support! I refrain from providing medical advice on this channel as every case is different/I always recommend speaking to your qualified healthcare provider with concerns about individual care. Generally speaking, we recommend 4-6 weeks before fractures are healed. A general rule of thumb should be "if it hurts, don't do it".
I accidentally lifted a water heater 2 feet in the air and slammed my toes. It was purple and it hurt, but all toes can curl and spread and they are straight. May take 4 days and get back to it, but still considering an X-ray just to be sure.
I smacked my toe 4 weeks ago on holiday, really hard into swimming pool steps. It was swollen and I couldn't get a shoe on for a week. Then 3 weeks after, the pain was much less. It has now been 4 weeks. I can walk and cycle, but do you think I can run on it now? I can still feel the site of injury, but it's like a 2 / 10. Please reply, my doctor doesn't want to know!! And will not x-ray me because they 'don't x-ray toes' after waiting 3 hours in a&e!! Thank you xx
I went to the clinic. The buddy taping, ace bandage and post op shoe was very painful. The boot that I was given was much more comfortable. Buddy taping, even lose still hurt. I don’t think that I will have to wear the boots more then 2 to 3 weeks. By then, it should be heeled enough to wear a shoe. Because the swelling will go down.
Unless it’s an open fracture or deformed, I would go to the clinic the for an X-ray. It’s too expensive to go to the hospital, even with insurance. The clinic can make you comfortable, at least. It depends on how much discomfort you are having. Then, you can get a referral to an orthopedic doctor, if needed.
I broke my big toe about five years ago, It does hurt walking uphill and I tape it to get through my workday
Hey! Last year I fracture my pinky toe and I had trouble with it because over the year I kept banging it and either fracturing, dislocating or breaking it. I went to my the hospital where they injected numbing into my toe and buddy taped it to another toe. Recently I banged into a wall and another toe is in pain when I walk on it and my mum is nurse and she believes it's just a strain muscle but the pain hurts extremely especially if I apply pressure or walk on it. I have an appointment in the afternoon with a doctor and to get x-rays but do you have any recommendations??
Put ice and bandages
Hey. So um I hit my toe on the corner of the walls and it cracked, and it turned bluish purplish and blackish. It is crooked. It's really big and hurts when I walk or just move it in any way. What should I do? Especially bc I'm a dancer
Sounds like you need to be assessed at an urgent care by a qualified healthcare provider if your toe is "crooked". This is one of the few times that we would try to put the toe in a more "appropriate position"/make sure it is "straight".
I'm pretty certain I've broken my toes because I ran it over with a table tennis table and .g nails have ripped off and I've got large bruises, what should I cover it with?
Thank you so much I definitely broke my toe kicked it so hard in my door entry and then kicked it again in my garage couple days later just horrible it’s all swollen but it’s not pointing any new direction so great I’ll just wait and deal with it for now thank you so much for this information 🙏🎀
No problem and thanks for your support! As always, if things are not getting better/you are concerned, please make sure to follow up with a qualified healthcare provider who can do a full assessment!
@@DxTx thank you so much it’s getting better swelling is going down I really appreciate you 🙏
@@DxTx It’s still healing, still swollen, but it’s going down... just wondering 💭 what is the chances of me wearing heals again?!? Omg I’ll die !!!! All these shoes 👠 👠👠👠
@@monikarancsova7008 has it healed? Banged my big toe into a rock yesterday, hurts like a mofo I can't step on it at all.
Ohh my god. I was playing football with my friends and one of them accidentally kicked me on the big toe. Im sure its broken cuz its bigger and i see a bruise. I havent told my mother yet but tommorow morning i will so we can get an xray. At the moments is night so im gonna sleep hoping that im gonna be okay. Btw is the first time ive broken a bone ooh is scary as hell. And if you can tell me, what will they do to me?? Will they just give me meds or what??? Do you think its gonna get worse overnight?
Alpha lipoic acid is awesome for pain!!
broke my big toe pretty sure 3 yrs ago and never got treatment but now it's continued to hurt and it's worse now.
I dropped a kitchen cabinet on my toe it’s a little swollen n not much bruising but it does hurt to put pressure on it should I get seen?
I have a question about the buddy toe taping. In this channel it's recommended to do so but when I got to another channel (also a licensed doctor) who says it's not good to do because it isn't supposed to help the movement restraint and can give you a crooked toe. Obviously, i don't know much about this so, what is your opinion on that?
Hi Emma, As always, remember to seek care from a medical qualified professional if you are concerned about an injury. In particular, with regards to toe injuries, it is prudent to seek medical attention especially if you have: injuries of the great (big) toe, open injuries (where the skin has been torn/lacerated as a result of the trauma), displaced/shifted injuries with visible deformities of the toe, or injuries causing pain at the base of the toe/in the foot. I always reiterate that this channel is not for individualized medical advice and more so just for educational purposes. As a PA working in the ER, for injuries outside of what I have listed, where the toe is straight/not shifted, buddy taping and wearing a comfortable shoe (As long as it is comfortable for the patient) is what we commonly recommend.
@@DxTx Great advice, thank you 😁
Read the description.
Thanks any advice for me? Broke is Saturday, 4 days ago, urgent care physician assistant read the X-ray wrong and told me it was NOT broken. Went to podiatrist yesterday & they confirmed it is indeed fractured. I also teach yoga! 😭
Broke my toe (its all purple and hurts like hell)
Wen to the doctor
And made me put some bandages so the bone doesn't move
It helps with my pain.
My be bed slate fell on my big toe after that it was swollen and looked like turf toe, what shoul I do specially it's been over two weeks
You will not believe how I did this I was catching a ball while working at Walmart bc they don’t give af what we be doing o was looking running full speed hit a cart now my left big toe is a bit angle to the left more got X-rays it was broken but it’s glad to know hopefully I won’t need that much more I’m going to a specialist Monday wish me luck
So sorry to hear about your injury and wishing you a speedy recovery! Big toe fractures can be a bit more complex (especially if it was angulated) so I am glad you are getting the care you need! Cheers
Hello sir, I fractured my one ankle and got a plaster on it but I also hit my other foot as well but luckily I didn't get a fracture in another one and it's been 12 days now but the thing is in which I got a plaster not even pain through this entire time but the second one is swelling alot cause I walk through this foot so what should id do??? Do I need to buddy taping it??? Cause I depend on that my all body weight so after 8 th day it swells alot😔😔😔
My toe is straight and seems a little bump on it because I walked a lot on that. I also got a x-ray of it but luckily there's nothing serious but it swelling a lot these days
hi! last year I hurt my second toe to the door but only my first bone has been hurting since. my bone is now double the size of my regular toe and then I did X-rays they said that there's no broken bone but there must be something do I need surgery?
Hi Cristina, thank you for your message and for watching. I refrain from providing medical advice on this channel and recommend that you speak with a qualified HCP re: your concerns as I have not seen/assessed you. Best of luck
If I can move it ? Is it a good sign that it’s not broken ? Even if it got swollen n bruised ?
Thank you i fractured mine on the pip joint 5th metacarpal non displacement. The dorsal part of my foot turns purple and as i rest it gets lighter iam super active when would be a good time to work out my doctor looked clueless 😂i have been with this 3 weeks now. Do you recommend seeing a podiatrist?
Hey did your toe ever heal? I feel like a cast for a few weeks is all it needs sometimes but the podiatrists make it more complicated or ignore it.
Thank you so much doctor and I can go to work? But the weird thing is that I feel my whole leg is kinda tired I don’t know how to explain it but should I keep it up and sleep all day or it’s okay to walk ? Thank you 🙏🏻
Hello! Thanks for your comment. To be clear - I am a PA (physician assistant) and I will preface by saying that this channel is for information purposes only. It's hard for me to provide you an accurate answer without knowing the details around your case/without examining you in person. With that said, it's normal to feel tired especially if you've been limping on the affected limb due to pain. Nonetheless, as long as the toe is straight, and you are able to tolerate the pain, there is no reason why you cannot/should not be able to walk. I always recommend that patients "use their pain as their guide". I.e. If something really bothers you - don't do it. If you re able to do it comfortably, than you can take that as a good sign.
@@DxTx thank you for answering I feel better today it was a helpful video to understand that it’s not a big problem but still I’m not walking much and I’m gonna go to work tomorrow 🤗
I injured my pinky toe don't rlly know what I did to it, but it got stepped on and its crooked.
Roughly how long would you suggest buddy taping the toe for? I stubbed mine about a month ago. Had it x-rayed about 2 weeks ago and they said there was a small fracture of the bone in the toe nearest the foot (at the base of the toe). They taped it and gave me a thick sole open boot to wear. I am still having pain on the outside of the foot at the base of the toe (the fracture was on the inside of the toe strangely). Wondered if the taping was machine the tendon ache due to it pull the alignment of the toe towards the other toes? Thanks
I have this exact same injury but I’m on day 2! How long did it take before you could walk normally again? Do you have any other advice for it?
@@RtothaO the most important thing is to rest it and keep your weight off it for the first month or so. I think I started walking on it too much too soon. You can walk with a broken toe it just hurts. I had an orthopaedic shoe off of the hospital which kept the weight off it and I woore that when in the house or in work for over a month
@@TheKayakCrew thanks for you response! Much appreciated. I’ll stay off it as long as possible. They also taped it but I feel like it’s causing more pain tbh and I’m meant to be going on holiday end of next week 😔
I have the same injury. How long did it take to heal 100%?
@@conorjbrown I broke my little toe over 2 years ago. Seemed to take over a year before I stopped noticing it at all.
After healing do I need physiotherapy ? I got fracture my little finger

Hello - this channel is for educational purposes only and it is difficult for us to provide medical advice when we have not assessed/examined you as a patient. In general terms, the fracture you have described should heal well with minimal issues. Hope you are feeling better.
So I was taking hubby to work and I was really tired and didn’t realize my toe was in the door still and slammed the door right on my big toe. My big toe is swollen bruised and hurts. I can’t pop it or move it. What should I do? I can barely even walk on it
Sorry that you have injured yourself! As always I preface by saying that we refrain from providing medical advice on this channel and that it is for patient educational purposes only. Nonetheless, given that it is your big toe, it sone of the only important ones! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
